TORNADO project aims to develop new organic and hybrid free-toxic coatings with water and oil repellence following Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) criteria. The novel proposed coatings will be PFAS free.
TORNADO idea is to research and develop:
1) Two new type of functionalized acrylated biomonomers with PDMS and POSS by two different chemical routes (acrylation and direct acrylation).
2) To synthesized and formulate 2 new biobased coatings based on the functionalized biomonomers by two technologies, waterborne organic and hybrid coatings and hybrid sol-gel coatings.
Biomonomers and coatings will be scale up in an industrial environment. The two coatings will be validated in industrially relevant environments to obtain a performance at least identical to PFAS coatings and tested according to the main textile, packaging and kitchenware specifications and requirements.
AIMEN’s role is focus in the improvement in environmental performance and circularity of the new coatings will be assessed through environmental Life Cycle Assessment, Life Cycle Cost, and social Life Cycle Analysis (LCA/LCC/s-LCA) of the proposed new coatings compared to traditionally ones.
